ABC Convention 2025

Thursday, March 14

The National Craft Championships invites more than 190 competitors to vie for gold in 16 competitions with skills on display across 12 crafts. The competition objectives are to demonstrate safety along with craft interdependency and teamwork, simulate working conditions where planning is critical to success, and highlight individual leadership and workmanship skills as the project is assembled and completed. In collaboration with the National Roofing Contractors Association, the NCC committee will showcase a roofing demonstration in 2024!
